You've got to be kidding me!! I was asking for something like this for years now!!.

 

GG Wedgie. You will see it will be a huge success.

I have 32 T4 ships, so I might try them all. Sadly, no Iwaki and no Arkansas, which should be outright banned from this format. ^^

Having a CV in a team of 3 or 4 on small maps at a tier where AAA is even more useless than elsewhere, if present at all, will make capping a real challenge.

At least there is no radar... so its "different" kind of a challenge.

Depends on how many Ise will spot for their teammates who will camp comfortably at the map border and take potshots.

True, but you have e. g. Karlsruhe with a pretty insane hydro range at T4 (5,5 km).

Hopefully they will wise up and  put a limit on those

Silent majority will explode the Ise sales.

Danae!

 

I think Tier VI may have slightly too many Ises for everyone's good but there are some fun possibilities - Mutsu, Arizona, QE/Warspite, PEF.... and won't we have Renown and Repulse by then?

West Virginia as well having the best penetration.

Mutsu and Virginia with the big guns make sense. Repulse has too few guns, while Prinz and Novocesare have pretty weak guns for pure BB duels.

Isn't Danae a CL? Not that I would trust WG to be precise with teams of "CV, BB, CA and DD" (are there any CA at T4?).

[CV_SUB_Report_Blacklist]

wow , it is great mode , i love this bbs only mode ,

 

i hade fun last event when there is only dds in creepy designs ... only dds vs dds ...

 

the same class vs the same class is the most balanced play ...

 

i vote for this step ...

 

i hope we can play this in T 10 also ... and for only cruisers and only dds  also ...

Good point, I had assumed they just meant "Cruisers", and I can't think of any Heavy Cruisers at Tier IV either. I hope they do mean just Cruisers, as there are some fun CLs at that Tier - Danae, Alberto, Kuma, Duguay.

WV is a heavy hitter, for sure, but I can see her mobility being a bit of an issue. HE spam will be a problem for those slow botes.

[COPlUM]

T4 = Orion and de ruyter. Everything else is CV food.

[Matt_FSR]

Well, I'm not certain how much of a success it'll be....  but it's perhaps the closest thing to a "battle of Jutland" mode we've gotten so far!

 

Sounds like it could be fun, my Warspite is ready for dishing out some lovin' and dodging return fire because lol 680 metre turning circle on a BB!

[W0Z]

Whats your thoughts of a ISE in a BB game.

 

Having a pretend CV on you team will give you a spotting advantage.

[Takethatyoubeast]

My Shikashima identifies as a Tier IV 🤣

[ARE_YOU_HUMAN]

Yeah Orion really has good aa in that tier. Yesterday I  aa specced my Texas and the result shocked me. Tho it was a tier 4 cv. Had to test with a tier 6 cv.

Aw, don't spoil the fun. They should probably start with Clemson, Hosho and Orion locked out of the mode to prevent Winner Divisions putting everyone else off. Either that or playing 1 game in those ships means 5 games in a Karlsruhe as penance. 

[Matt_FSR]

Ise as a BB might actually be more of a hindrance than a help.

 

Sure, she can spot, but her plane damage is awful and no T6 BB can run conceal module, so most are spotted from the moon anyways.    In return, Ise lacks main guns, and is easy to damage.

[Hirohito]

Good, let all the BB weekend potatoes have their own brawl to mess about in.

Can WG do one for CVs & subs?

[KratosTheUnforgiving]

Now this could be a good laugh, finally WG DEVs have come up with a great idea and will no doubt crow about it, shame it wasn't theirs !
